This resource guides students in applying the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) specifically focused on product design and development. It encourages students to brainstorm a wide array of inquiry questions related to items such as water bottles, ice packs, and food containers. The document lays out clear rules to follow during the question production phase, emphasizing the generation of numerous questions without judgment or discussion. Following the brainstorming session, students categorize their questions into defined topics like Science, Manufacturing, Economics, Consumers, and Trade before selecting the top three questions deemed most critical for their Project-Based Learning (PBL) project, along with justifications for their choices.
